At first I was skeptical about the fact that a light smaller than it’s competition is promising those output figures (20,000 LUX at 1m) But after taking the leap and buying one, boy was I astonished by the results. 

I love the fact that this fixture is bi-color and has such a high output, meaning I don’t have to worry about the setting I’m working in, as I can always adjust the light and the intensity accordingly. Never do I have to worry about the logistics and the weather conditions of a certain shoot anymore, as I can always pair up the fixture with a water resistant battery, set up the light and scene, and when needed, adjust the light from a distance from my smartphone (this feature has come in handy so many times when the light is mounted high up on a c-stand).

Even though the fixture is slightly heavier than the Litepanels Astra 6X, I understand that in order to achieve the weatherproof rating that it has, it needs to have some compromises (in this case an all aluminum housing that acts as a heatsink in order to cool the light), but the in my opinion the benefits that come with it - completely silent, dust and water resistant, outweigh the only downside.

In my opinion the higher price point is worth the investment, as this will probably be the only panel light that you need!

I have had the Practilite 602's for years (perfect small fresnels!) and I thought I will also give a try to this new LED panel. It's built really well, it's extremely bright and at the same time - small! Best lighting fixture I have in my lighting kit. The app works perfectly from really far away, I can adjust the light to match the filming situation by any second, the weatherproof V-Lock battery plate is amazing and....If I want to film really close to the subject I have no cooling noise coming out of the fixture.

I can light up the studio photoshoots, I can make videos outside with any condition there is - snow, rain, sand - you name it. Outdoor photoshoots, documentary clips, interviews. I've done everything with this light and I never had to disappoint.

Really recommend it to everyone who are looking for a durable, rugged documentary/broadcast fixture. Worth the price 100%

I have recently purchased two of these for my ENG kit and couldn't be happier, they are as bright as a lupo super panel, brighter than an Astra and much better colour than a cream source.

Not quite as bright as a cream source 1x1 spot panel but very close, with the added benefit of bi colour and far better colour accuracy these turned out to be great lights.

The practilites adopted a similar system to the creamsource drop in diffuser gels which makes it very easy to use, not quite as easy to drop in and out but still only take a few seconds longer to slide in a filter.

With a 95 watt hour battery I'm getting about 1 hour of battery life at maximum brightness, (1 hour 15 it cutts out ) but I change at 1 hour tops.

Half the size as a 1*1 panel but equally as bright, I wish they made a 1x1 version of this light as it would be amazing!

One of the only issues is because it is physically smaller you get less throw, so a 1x1 panel with a 30 degree filter will light up a larger area than the practilite with it's built in 30 degree spread.

Would recommend for ENG work, robust, reliable, great colour, much cheaper than some competition

It is an amazing light for the price. It is super bright. Shadows have some weird patterns if diffuser is not used. Also you can't tell which diffuser is half or full.
